bet he looks out for #1 on his next contract.

the rumor mill has this trade opening a spot in the rotation for Clemens.

Sad to see the kid go. He loved Boston. Clemens? As muck as I don't like his public persona, I can't deny that he's been the most dominate pitcher of our time. I just have a hard time getting over his last year here.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Wily Mo sounds like a clone of Ortiz!

The "upside" remains to be seen. He is a young stud though.

the more I thought about this the more it does not make cents!
He took the "hometeam" discount when he did his contract.
He was best friends with Theo ,,,,here is the strange part. Did they have a falling out? Something fishy

We need more outfielders like we need a hole in the head! If my math is correct we have one too many starting outfielders.....look for Trot Nixon to be part of a trade package shortly!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Most likely Big Wily will replace Trot when a lefty takes the mound, I don't think he'll be leaving. Wily has some speed for a big fella too!

I really enjoyed Arroyo's personality on the sox but I think Pena will be a great asset to the team...young too!
